I hate to say I remember that game, however it was NOT in the playoffs nor deciding game in a series. Still sucked nonetheless

A bigger choke was Edmonton losing to the Kings in  the 1982 playoffs.

Edmonton lost game 3 after leading 5-0 in the 3rd.  Then they lost game 5 at home.  They also lost game 1 at home 10-8.  Kings were 5-26-9 on the road that year and 24-41-13 on the year overall.

The miracle on manchester was a top 5 choke for sure. In terms of game 7's, tonight's collapse might just be the biggest ever.

YOU are CORRECT. the "Miracle on Manchester" game in the 1982 playoffs MAY have been a bigger "choak job" than this one. Kings came back from down 0-5 to the Grezkey Oilers in the 3rd period to tie with 5 seconds to go and then won in OT. they went on to beat the Oilers in the series

Leafs remind me of the 2003 Cubs or something. Completely cursed. I can't believe what I saw.

This is the biggest choke to me because in game 4 the game went to OT and Boston needed 1 sudden death goal to sweep the Flyers.

I don't know if the Oilers one was as bad because they were rookies and LA had guys like the great Marcel Dionne 731 Goals 1040 assists equalling

1771 points in 1348 games

Insane LA even got into the playoffs in 81-82. 24-41-15 for 63 points. Beating a team with 111 points.

Rat, Trevor Gretzky will be the Cubs winning pitcher in game 7 of the 2018 World Series. You heard it here first.

Leafs should have traded for Luongo and they would be in the second round.
